James Bond Gold Swim Shorts - By Orlebar Brown

Introducing the James Bond Gold Swim Shorts - By Orlebar Brown.

Celebrating the anniversaries of Goldfinger  (1964) and The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) Orlebar Brown's gold capsule takes inspiration from scenes and characters from each film and combines them with its signature tailoring and premium fabrics. Each element of the collection has been looked at, including a gold update for metal finishes and closures.

Backstory.  The gold and black colour palette of these Bulldog swim shorts nods to villain Auric Goldfinger's suit in the Goldfinger  laser scene. Examine the gold-tone fabric closely to notice the '00' of the '007' logo repeated all over. The black border hem is based on Orlebar Brown's iconic cravat design, combined with the 007 logo. The gold-tone side adjusters have debossed 007 and Orlebar Brown logos, inspired by the golden bullet Scaramanga sends to MI6 in The Man with the Golden Gun. 

Details.  The design has a shaped waistband and adjustable side fasteners for a superior fit, closed with a concealed gold press stud and zip fly front fastening. Hip pockets and a single rear zipped welt pocket add functionality, while tailored darts give great shape. The shorts feature side splits for enhanced movement and are net lined for extra comfort and security. They come with a durable water-resistant drawstring bag to carry and protect your shorts when wet, or store your valuables by the pool. Made in Portugal from 100% quick-drying recycled polyester tested to 50mg/l of chlorine.

Care.  Machine wash at 30 degrees
